THE GOOD OLD FARM.


There's got to be a revival
OF good, sound sense among men,
Before the days of prosperity
VIII dawn upon US again.
The boys must learn that larnn'
Means more than the essence of books,
And the girls must learn that beauty
Consists in more than looks.
Before we can steer clear of failures
And big financial Alarms
The boys have got to quit clerkin'
And get back on the farms.
l know it amt quite so nobby,
1t amt quite so easy, / know,
As partin' your hair in the middle,
An sittin' up for show.
But there's more hard dollars in it,
AM more independence, too,
An more real peace and :ontentment,
An health that is ruddy an true.
j know that it takes hard labor,
But you've got to chang on'' in store
Before you can earn a good Twin
And clothes, with but little more.
An YOU steer well clear Of ,,mp,ation
On the good Old honest larln,
An a thousa I'd ways am fashions
That only bring you to harm.
There amt but few that can handle
With safety other mems cash,
An the fate of many who try it
Prove human nature is rash.
So, when the road to State prison
Lay by the good old farm,
An Il man sees a toilin' brother
Well out of the way of harm,
He mourns that hc hadn't staid there
A tillin' the soil in peace,
Where he'll creep back in dishonor,
After a tardy release.
What hosts of 'em 90 back broken
In health. i'll mint and purse,
To die in sight of the clover,
Or linger along, which is worse.
An how many mourn, when useless,
That they didn't see the charm,
The safety aud independence
Of 4 life on the good old farm.

We would be pleased to know of a man
or woman who has never had headache or
been subject to constipation. AS these
seem to be universal troubles a little advice
Grain their stomachs with nauseating pur-
gative pills etc. which sicken and debili-
tate when such a pleasant and sterling
remedy as Prickly Ash Bitters will act

tone up and strengthen the whole system,
causing headache. constipation and all
such distressing evils TO quickly disappear.

This line of an old hymn is quite apprO-
pirate when applied to "Pleasant Purgative
Pellets" Il don't like to take pills if |
can avoid it," we often hear persons say,
besause they constipate me So" Now the
"Pellets" never do this. They are so gentle
and mild that their effect is almost precise
ly similar to natural movement of the
bowels, and no unpleasant effects are left
behind,

Many woman is robbed of those charms
which the gentler sex value so highly, and

FORT WORTH, TEN. Sept. %, 1857.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
/ find the following editorial paragraph
il THE GAZETTE Of this morning: "It
the people Of Fort Worth feel dis
graced by the doings Of their city govern
ment, they should 90 to the polls next
April. If they don't go to the polls they
should endure in silence the shame and
injury being done the city"
You have upintentionall inflicted q
very great wrong upon many worthy gen.
tlemen and faithful oftlcers OF the city.
think you refer especially TO the City
Council. II so, you have done Sc injus-
tice to those members who are blameless
and rot responsible for the deyilment and
pure cussedness Of Hill and the MGyor.
The people Of Fort Worth understand
what has given rise to such an excoriation
from THE GAZETTE es contained in this
paragraph, but the people abroad will
fail TO properly interpret it. The good
people of Texas should understand that
we have man for Mayor CT many ex-
cellent qualities, but of an unfortunate
organization in an attempted administra-
ton OF public affairs. AL
derman Hill being of q similar
composition, q hOstilityE has arisen
between the two men and the entire
council as well as the city has tshared
the osium. Surely not the "city gov
ernment," Mr. Editor. Where in any
council will you find. more worthy gentle
men, anQ more capable officers than Al
dermen D2rter, Cooper, Tatum end Dag
gen? The Impression should not be
made that these men are other than the
most faithful public servants. 1t is
doubtful if either OF these; gentlemen
could be defeated ct the ballot box
should they again stand for reelection
Their former msiorities do not indicate
an early defeat. Q nc, you do not near

and an sure will hasten to correct it

Spare tho Birds.


Tc the Editor of the Gazette.
l have Tesd with much interest the
letter in THE GAZETTE of the goth, en-
titled "Spare the Plover." Your CORE
spondent "a. c." is right in his vigor-
Gus protest against the wanton de-
struction OF birds, not only because
thew ill our woods and prairies with
melody, but on economic grounds.
The blower serves one useful purpose
in this western country to which l wish
TO direct particular attention.
The traveller across these prairies and
woodlands Will notice mud plastered
around sticks. fences, posts, etc. Upon
closer inspection he will find pipe stems
NJ mud built around the sprigs OF grass
all over this country, being more uumer

am led to believe that the paste which
this insect secretes from its body for the
purpose Of cementing the soil around
grass stalks, etc, is e poison to the soil.
As long as this country was urinhsbige6,
and prairie fires assisted the feathered
enemies OF the wood lodse in the destruc-
ton OF the latter, no notice WAS taken
OF this destructive insect. The settle
ment Of the country has tended 20 keep
down prairie fires and 10 exterminate
birds. The plover with it's long bill is
peculiarly adapted to prey upon insects
which burrow in the ground snd their
eggs and lerv1. That the plover does
prey upon TIE wood louise, no one &C
quainted with the habits of this bird will
toubt. Yet 1 have known a psrty Of
hunters % TO kill over 600 of these friends
Of the farmer ard stockmen in the vicin-
ity OF Albany in one day.
1 repeat the warning, "spare the
plover." But not only should we spare
the pIoyer, but the partridge, the mock
ing bird. and every one of the festhered
tribe which protect our crops from in
sect life or make music for US.
